Ukraine only qualified for Euro 2024 via the playoffs, but they ended their three-game pre-tournament warm-up with a confidence-boosting 4-0 win over Moldova last week. Girona's Artem Dovbyk was on the scoresheet, and La Liga's top scorer this season will be hoping to take that form to Germany.
This will be Romania's first major tournament since 2016, but they went unbeaten in qualifying and won their group by five points. Their recent friendlies haven't been promising, though, with no wins so far in 2024, and two goalless draws in their latest warm-ups.
Kick-off is at 2pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch Euro 2024 wherever you are.

How to watch Romania vs Ukraine for FREE in the UK
Use a VPN to watch FREE from anywhere
Romania vs Ukraine is free on BBC One for viewers in the UK. Outside the UK? No problem. If you're travelling abroad and want to tune into BBC iPlayer as normal, you can use a VPN so that you don't get blocked by the broadcaster.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there but, for Euro 2024, FourFourTwo recommends:
NordVPN is basically a tap-in:
1. Install it: NordVPN
2. Fire it up and choose your service. So, if you want to watch a UK streaming service, choose the UK server.
3. Enjoy the game. Open up the iPlayer and watch the stream.
Romania vs Ukraine live stream: team news
There were some doubts over the fitness of Răzvan Marin, Andrei Burcă, and Adrian Rus in the lead-up to this game, but all three should be available to Edward Iordanescu for this opening game, with Marin and Burcă tipped to start. The big question is who will start up front, with Denis Alibec, George Puscas and Denis Dragus all in contention.
The only notable absence for Ukraine will be Vitaliy Mykolenko, who has picked up an ankle injury, which suggests Oleksandr Zinchenko will cover for the Everton defender rather than taking up his usual national-team role in midfield. Artem Dovbyk’s excellent season in La Liga will surely get him the nod up top, with his Girona teammate Viktor Tsygankov on one side and Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk on the other.
